Nostalgic return for a special anniversary
Pros:

We first stayed at this hotel on our Honeymoon 30 years ago, the returned 13 years after where the facilities and hotel had sadly deteriorated. Following a change of ownership and development the hotel is again a gem The rooms have been renovated to a high specification as has the bar and dining area. The staff were polite and efficient.

Cons:

There isn't anything to comment on.

Lovely stay from beginning to end, nice to walk out of your hotel without needing to drive. Nice bar, rooms comfortable
Pros:

Great location, easy to get about on foot close by or to drive to other villages very easily. We were upgraded on arrival which was very kind & our room location was excellent on ground floor just to the side of the beer garden. It was nice to purchase drinks from the bar & take them across to the room, we even borrowed Scrabble & Connect 4 ! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms lovely & clean

Cons:

Couldn’t really fault this property 😊

A friendly, inviting, comfortable stay.
Pros:

Great location. Parking available if you turn up in the morning. Friendly and super helpful staff. Lovely bathrooms, showers were amazing, warm towel rail. Room 10 had a window in the bathroom with was lovely. I had an issue with our first room being to hot and stuffy, this was dealt with straight away and we were allocated a different room

Cons:

My main meal was wrong snd had to be corrected twice. Glasses are a bit grubby in restaurant and rooms. Shower cap, slippers etc would be a nice touch as they are not cheap rooms.

Pros:

It’s in a great spot

Cons:

Overpriced and was very noisy in the room at night. No bubble bath even though you have a bath in your room, for £400 a night you would think you would. No breakfast included.

Highly recommend The Sheep
Pros:

We stayed two nights here 23rd and 24th of February 26 . The ‘winter’ offer from Honeycomb Houses was exceptional value. Everything was so good from the welcome on arrival to the farewell when we checked out. Staff are universally friendly , helpful, hard working ,efficient and all added greatly to our thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable stay. The food was great , truly top quality dinner and breakfast. The room (18) was comfortable , clean and spacious. Ellie was excellent each night at dinner , friendly and really efficient .She enhanced our enjoyment of the meals on the two nights . Scott was great each morning at breakfast. He was also friendly efficient and enhanced our stay greatly. The two night stay in Stow was the perfect unwind for two NHS nurses who were quite worn out after an exceptionally busy Christmas and January in our working lives. Thanks to all at The Sheep. We look forward to our next stay. I can wholeheartedly recommend The Sheep to anyone wishing to visit this beautiful part of the World.

Perfect get away
Pros:

When we arrived we had a lovely welcome from the lady on the desk who was also kind enough to help with our cases. After a walk around Stow we went into the bar area of the hotel to have a drink before getting ready for our meal. The staff were efficient and the atmosphere was relaxing as the fire was burning. We had our meal at the hotel and the food was delicious and service personal. Then in the morning we had breakfast which was full English and again the food was very tasty and the lady whosever us was friendly. Great stay!
